GOP Mike Johnson elected new House Speaker

美 하원의장에 존슨 선출 We begin in the U.S. where after three failed attempts, Republican Mike Johnson was elected the 56th Speaker of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, bringing an end to prolonged Republican chaos on Capitol Hill. Johnson was the fourth Republican to receive the party’s nomination after Tom Emmer dropped out earlier the same day. The conservative, Louisiana lawmaker won 220 votes in the lower chamber of Congress. Johnson is also a close ally of former President Donald Trump. While his conservative stance on policies such as abortion and same-sex marriage has garnered criticism in the past, Johnson promised to waste no time in getting the House “back in business.“ He also pledged support for Israel in its fight against Hamas. #politics #Mike_Johnson #House_Speaker #House_of_Representatives #Capitol_Hill #마이크존슨 #하원의장 #정치 #존슨 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2023-10-26, 09:00 (KST)
